The E.U.s tough new rules on recycling could mean a rocky road ahead for Europes carmakers. If it hadnt been for Henry Fords drive to create a mass market for cars, America wouldnt have a middle class today. Undoubtedly, the car was the most important engine of economic growth in the 20th century. However, Fords American Dream is fast becoming Europes environmental nightmare because cars that are cast aside as useless cannot be disposed of entirely and thus contaminate the environment. Unfortunately, redundant cars do not simply vanish.

While a cars metal components, which account for about 75% of its weight, can be reused, the remainder a mix of plastic, rubber, fluids and paint that often contains toxic substances like mercury, cadmium and lead is shredded into fluff and buried under garbage dumps. The environmental group Friends of the Earth says that this fluff accounts for around a tenth of the hazardous waste in Europe. And with 9 million cars discarded every year, the amount of uncontaminated land left is decreasing fast. According to environmentalists, although carmakers now have a variety of new, more easily recyclable materials to choose from, the pressures to work quickly and keep costs low often exceed their ecological concerns. What is needed is some incentive to motivate car designers to think about the environmental aspect of their work. Recently, the European Parliament provided just such an incentive when it approved a directive that transfers responsibility for the environmental effect of a vehicle over its entire life cycle from design to disposal directly onto the manufacturers shoulders. Some requirements, such as a ban on the use of toxic heavy metals, and officially required recycling rates of 80% and 85% for cars that will go on the market after 2006 and 2015, are far reaching but feasible because with some effort, new cars can be adapted to the new regulations. But the new law will also apply retroactively and force carmakers to pay the full price for the disposal of every auto they ever produced. The prospect of recycling cars that werent built to be recycled is unbearable from a financial point of view, says Camille Blum, secretary-general of the Association of European Car Manufacturers (ACEA). ACEA believes that the new measures announced by the European parliament will cost around $23 billion, based on a recycling cost of around $155 a car and an estimated 150 million cars on the EUs roads. Question 56: The middle class of America _________. A. boosted the growth of the mass market for car B. included Henry Ford th C. played an active role the in 20 century economic growth D. owes its origin to the mass market for car Question 57: What is still missing, according to the author, in order to promote the use of recyclable materials? A. the diversity of recyclable materials B. the encouragement from the authority C. the wide availability of recyclable materials D. the amount of uncontaminated land left Question 58: Some of the requirements introduced recently by the European Parliament are_________. A. within the ability of carmakers B. considered to be unsuitable for the present situation C. already applied by most carmakers D. easy for carmakers to comply with Question 59: The word their in paragraph 2 refers to ________. A. recyclable materials B. pressures C. environmentalists D. carmakers Question 60: The word retroactively in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________. A. currently B. previously C. presently D. recently Question 61: The word measures in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________. A. regulations B. degrees C. concerns D. dimensions Question 62: The article points out that ______. A. carmakers in Europe have always taken care to use only recyclable materials B. 75 % of a cars weight turns into fluff when it is disposed of C. 25 % of a cars weight consists of materials that cannot be recycled D. most European carmakers already have the incentive to consider ecology Question 63: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the article? A. Toxic waste from disposed cars is a cause of land pollution in Europe. B. The car industry helped in the development of the middle class in America. C.

ACEA says that recycling about 150 million European cars will cost over $20 billion D.

TV presenters have always taken a lot of criticism. Daytime television hosts who drip with insincerity make it look easy and we all think we can do better. Presenting is one of the most sought-after jobs according to a recent survey. Every year, television companies are flooded with letters from young hopefuls. Unfortunately, their chances of getting on screen are slim. To do so, it is often who you know, not what you know. But this doesnt deter thousands from parting with their hard-earned cash to go on training courses in the hope that this will give them an advantage. I went along to a one-day presenters course held in a real television studio, with proper chat show sofas, two cameras and an Autocue (a machine put next to a camera, displaying the words to be spoken). It even had talkback, a sort of hearing aid the presenter wears to receive instructions, and there were even light and sound technicians. Ten of us had turned up. Ambitions ranged from Pauls, to read The News, to Kates, to host a game show. Tina was just doing it for a laugh. Hayley was under no illusions about why she wanted to go on TV, Im really attracted to the glamour of the job. I think if people are honest, thats why they want to do it. I want to be really famous. Others made virtuous noises about wanting to meet interesting people or make high quality programmes but, judging by the looks on everyones faces, Hayley had hit the nail on the head. The initial task we were given was to talk about ourselves to camera. I volunteered to go first. Well, what could be so difficult? Switch to camera one, stand by, Fiona, and three to go two to go good luck. Our tutors hand came down with a professional flourish, the lights came up and I was on. I stared deep into the camera lens for inspiration. It didnt come. Say something, urged a voice in my talkback ear. This was the producer in the control room. Erm, good afternoon, er, morning that is, ha ha, I forgot what time it was for a minute I gradually went silent. An hour later, when everybody had suffered a turn, we all felt a little bit better and our initial nerves had gone. Next we learned how to read the Autocue. The Autocue piece was relatively easy. We had to write this ourselves, with topics ranging from how to ski to pig farming. The hard bit was trying to make it look as if your eyes werent moving across the screen. After lunch, we all had a bash at an Office Broadcast. This was harder because there was no Autocue to refer to. We were given our scripts just five minutes before we went on, so we had to do it with very little preparation a good lesson in thinking on your feet. I was quite staggered at how good everyone else was. So was this easier than real presenting or were they just superstars? Basic presenting is easy, once youve got the hand of it, said our tutor. It just requires a bit of confidence and a sense of humour. The difficult part is getting your foot in the door. Im not going to pretend that doing the course will get you a job. All we are doing is giving you a starting point. Question 71: do so in paragraph 1 refers to _________. A. be employed as a presenter B. have slim chances C. know important people D. receive a lot of papers Question 72: The word this in bold in paragraph 2 refers to _________. A. attending training courses B. being a TV presenter C. earning money in a tough way D. spending money to get on screen Question 73: The word illusions in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________. A. theories B. false effects C. ambitions D. false ideas Question 74: What is the main subject of the first paragraph? A. the kind of people who work as TV presenter B. how hard it is to become a TV presenter C. viewers attitudes towards TV presenters D. how easy TV presenters jobs appear to be
